Why did BP Reject Help by James Cameron?
admin @ July 18, 2012 # No Comment Yet
Much to the horror of the world, we all sat back on April 20, 2010, and watched with growing unease as one of the worst environmental catastrophes in U.S. history unfolded before our eyes in the media as an explosion rocked the BP-licensed Transocean drilling rig Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico. The explosion […]

It’s that time of year again, a time many people in the southeastern United States have come to expect and prepare for with resignation year after year. Even though hurricane season has been relatively quiet up to the middle of August, many are reminded of the fact that it doesn’t take more than one storm […]

andrea @ July 24, 2009 # No Comment Yet
Apparently, when you’re rich and smart, there is no limit to what you (think you) can do. Let’s take Mr. Bill Gates for example. Gates is responsible for the multi-million dollar Microsoft Corporation and just came up with another idea. This Microsoft founder wants to become a…wait for it…“hurricane slayer.”

Undeniably, the green movement is everywhere. It’s taking over everything…and it’s a good thing. Soon, we will have “green” revolutionaries leading us into the greener pastures of environmentalism. Pamela Anderson would like to be one of them.

Fla. weather reminds NASA who’s boss
andrea @ July 15, 2009 # No Comment Yet
Anyone who’s been to “sunny Florida” during the summertime is aware of the precipitation level. Having grown up in Florida, I feel it’s safe to say that it rains here just about every day during the summer, even if the sun is out. It’s an incredible thing: “sun showers.” I won’t even mention the flooding […]

Everglades’s off-and-on relationship with the Endangered list
andrea @ June 27, 2009 # No Comment Yet
For those who have never been near the Florida Everglades, let me tell you something, you’re not missing anything special. It’s humid, hot and infested with mosquitoes. It’s not even really close to any single pleasant place, but it’s home to all kinds of animals. There’s also a surprising amount of people that see fit […]

Brittany @ June 22, 2009 # One Comment
With 14 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions produced via the agricultural sectors across the planet, with a good chunk of that percentage coming from the front end (not the back end, surprisingly) of the 1.5 billion plus cows grazing on our green, green grasses, a dairy farming couple in Coventry, Vt. has changed the […]

Blame a buzz, PETA at it again
Brittany @ June 19, 2009 # One Comment
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is at it again. This time, it’s after President Obama for a fly swatting incident (no, I’m not kidding) in the White House during an interview with CNBC.

One step closer for tornado prediction
andrea @ June 14, 2009 # No Comment Yet
Tornadoes have provided for some great cinema magic (i.e. “The Wizard of Oz”) but have also provided for many deaths and serious devastation. Severe weather investigators have been trying for years to determine what causes twisters to form. Luckily for them, on June 6, a tornado in Wyoming became the most documented twister of all […]

Breaking news in bird songs
Brittany @ May 23, 2009 # 2 Comments
As plant life began to resurge in some formerly cleared lands in California, Oregon and Washington over the course of the past 35 years, male white-crowned sparrows have lowered their whistling pitch and slowed down their long song-singing abilities so that their songs would carry better through the newer, thicker foliage. Apparently, this is the […]
